Binding

19th-century calf. Upper cover and back flyleaf completely detached. Cover wearing and crumbling at edges and hinges. Various stains. Many of the leaves are worn and fraying at the edges. On many leaves, text is written out to the edges and is hard to read. In some cases, trimming has obliterated text at the edges. Folio 52 is missing a piece that appears to have been cut out, but this does not seem to have affected the text.
